Bonus Match: Jordan Burroughs To Wrestle Isaiah Martinez At WNO On June 18

Five-time World and Olympic champion Jordan Burroughs will make his return to the mat on June 18 against two-time NCAA champion and four-time finalist Isaiah Martinez live on FloGrappling immediately after Who's Number One: Craig Jones vs Tye Ruotolo.

The two have not met since their intense three-match series at 2019 Final X. Jordan Burroughs won the first and third matches the series, earning his ninth-straight World/Olympic team spot. Martinez earned a rare victory over Burroughs in the second match. Burroughs would go on to win bronze at the World Championships in Nur-Sultan.

The two also met in 2018 Final X with Burroughs taking it two matches to none, giving Burroughs a 4-1 all-time advantage in the series. 

Their highly anticipated rematch didn’t occur when Isaiah Martinez was forced to withdraw from the Olympic Trials due to injury. With both wrestlers recently announcing their moves in weight for the foreseeable future, this will be the first time the two have met at a weight other than 74 kg. 

The match will be streamed live on FloWrestling and on FloGrappling, immediately after the main event of FloGrappling's WNO: Craig Jones vs Tye Ruotolo.
